Peabody, “The Care of the Patient.” JAMA 1927; 88: 877-882. Francis Weld Peabody, MD 1881-1927 Empathy • Empathy: – “the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.” • Cognitive (from: Oxford Languages) • Affective • Somatic • Theory of mind: – “The capacity to identify and understand others’ subjective states is one of the most stunning products of human evolution.” (from: Kidd and Castano, Science 2013) – Definitions are not full agreed upon, but this distinction is: • “Affective” and “Cognitive” empathy are independent from one another. Can one teach empathy? Reading novels? • Literature as a “way of thinking” – “Literature’s problem is that its irreducibility … makes it look unscientific, and by extension, soft.” – For example: “‘To be or not to be’ cannot be reduced to ‘I’m having thoughts of self-harm.’” – “At one and the same time medicine is caught up with the demand for rigor in its pursuit of and assessment of evidence, and with a recognition that there are other ways of doing things … which are important.” (from: Skelton, Thomas, and Macleod, “Teaching literature

    American Gods, Myths, and Roadside Attractions

    EN 3553.01 Major Authors Spring 2018 MWF 10:00-10:50 Mr. Price American Gods and American Roadside Attractions In the popular novel American Gods, Neil Gaiman offers the premise that we “create the gods.” He takes the notion from psychologist Carl Gustav Jung that by imagining gods, by bringing them into our culture, we fully create them. They take on an existence beyond that of our imagination. They become real. As a writer of fantasy, Gaiman can make that “becoming real” quite literal, as in the novel his gods wander through the American landscape. For us – and therefore as a literary metaphor – they become “real” in another sense. There are the gods we worship, such as the Odin brought to American shores by Leif Erickson and his contemporaries. There are things we worship, such as the television set that has been the altar and shrine of American households. There is the automobile and the highway. For this class I want to begin with Gaiman’s depiction of “the gods,” looking a bit at the novel’s central plot, but particularly at his incorporation of “forgotten gods,” figures of folklore, and such elements as flavor American culture. I plan to also look at a couple example American myths, big ones. I am including a couple pieces on the “frontier” and “melting pot” myths: Willa Cather’s My Antonia and a John Ford film, “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.” For America’s favorite twentieth century myth, “the business of America is business” (quote attributed to Calvin Coolidge), we will look at Sinclair Lewis’s Babbitt.

    1. Classic Literature Reading List for Middle School Students

    1. Classic Literature Reading List for Middle School Students By: LuAnn Schindler Many middle school students enjoy the connection with a young adult novel, but classic literature never goes out of style. Several humanities organizations have established a classic literature reading list that emphasizes the importance of reading timeless books. This list introduces new characters and alien worlds to the middle school set. Several of these books are commonly taught in middle school English classes, so adding them to a summer reading list can give your child an advantage when they come up during the school year.

Swartz The Hugo Awards originally were called the Science Fiction Achievement Awards and first were given out at Philcon II, the World Science Fiction Con- vention of 1953, held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The second oldest--and most prestigious--awards in the field, they quickly were nicknamed the Hugos (officially since 1958), in honor of Hugo Gernsback (1884 -1967), founder of Amazing Stories, the first professional magazine devoted entirely to science fiction. No awards were given in 1954 at the World Science Fiction Con in San Francisco, but they were restored in 1955 at the Clevention (in Cleveland) and included six categories: novel, novelette, short story, magazine, artist, and fan magazine.

I’ve had many calls throughout the winter months from patrons requesting additional books. There’s nothing like a good book on a cold winter night! But now you may not have as much time to listen to or read books, once summer activities begin, so give me a call if you’d like me to adjust the number of books you’re receiving. Also, if you are not getting enough books or the wrong type, please call me. If I cannot answer, please leave your NAME and PHONE NUMBER and I will call you back- I promise! Nick and Pam C. are also available to answer questions, order books, and make changes in your records. 1-800-562-8984, EXTENSION “0” or 1-906-228-7697, EXTENSION “0” Mondays 11:30 am- 5:00 pm Tuesdays and Thursdays 9:00 am- 2:30 pm Boxes of Many Colors We know some of our patrons can’t see color, but those who can may be surprised by the range of colors arriving in the mail. When digital books were introduced they were sent out in blue boxes, to try to make it easier to tell the formats apart. In recent years, several additional colors have been added to the talking book palette and some of our patrons may be wondering why they received a grey or yellow box in the mail instead of the familiar blue or green.
  • Addition to Summer Letter

    Addition to Summer Letter

    May 2020 Dear Student, You are enrolled in Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition for the coming school year. Bowling Green High School has offered this course since 1983. I thought that I would tell you a little bit about the course and what will be expected of you. Please share this letter with your parents or guardians. A.P. Literature and Composition is a year-long class that is taught on a college freshman level. This means that we will read college level texts—often from college anthologies—and we will deal with other materials generally taught in college. You should be advised that some of these texts are sophisticated and contain mature themes and/or advanced levels of difficulty. In this class we will concentrate on refining reading, writing, and critical analysis skills, as well as personal reactions to literature. A.P. Literature is not a survey course or a history of literature course so instead of studying English and world literature chronologically, we will be studying a mix of classic and contemporary pieces of fiction from all eras and from diverse cultures. This gives us an opportunity to develop more than a superficial understanding of literary works and their ideas. Writing is at the heart of this A.P. course, so you will write often in journals, in both personal and researched essays, and in creative responses. You will need to revise your writing. I have found that even good students—like you—need to refine, mature, and improve their writing skills. You will have to work diligently at revising major essays.
